What Artists See When They Look at Art

October 2017

Description

Foreword by Thomas P. Campbell
Introduction by Christopher Noey

Artists have long been stimulated and motivated by the work of those who came before them—sometimes, centuries before them. In this lavishly designed and packaged new volume, 120 of the world’s most influential contemporary artists discuss the art that inspires them. Each compelling interview reveals how works in The Met collection have sparked their imaginations and shed new light on art-making, museums, and the creative process. Images of Met artworks accompany those by the artists, allowing readers to discover a rich web of visual connections that spans cultures and millennia.
